Pat did a rendering for a customer, but it wasn't a retractable top. It was a phantom style removable top. That was an idea he and I discussed many times, but I never got one built.

This is amazing...

Wow... it has been a while again..

Geez where do i begin.. Well, first of course like many projects on here I had to put this one on hold going back to mid December... I am building my family a house and breaking ground on it in 3-4 weeks..
I am doing the building myself so needless to say it has become my new project... But the good news is I'll have a large garage to play in as well after I am done..
- As for the blazer, I did get some stuff done on it since my last post up until 4 weeks ago.. I finished all my floor and patch work, POR 15'd the under sides of the tub and I mounted the body to the frame with the body mounts etc. I wanted to get this done so the rest of the body work I am doing would obviously be required to have no shifting of the tub.
I decided to get all new body panels to speed up the project. I bought new doors, front 67 fenders, new 67 hood, 2 swb boxsides which I already cut down to blazer size and have one side finished. I'll get some pics of the progress when I get a chance. Another part of this taking a while is its freezing cold outside here right now and the house I'm renting while building has no heat in the garage so that takes a bit of motivation away..
It's all good though, I project by this time next year I will have a 1300 sq ft garage to work in with heat and I can enjoy the 2nd leg of the convertible progress... And I will definitly be finishing this, I pretty motivated on this blazer and really enjoy what it has become so far. I know it won't sit too long..
Its great to see interest in this top project, thanks guys..
